LION - LIVE@Fundbuero Hamburg 2022 (Hard Trance Set)

2023 marked the inception of my DJ journey in Hamburg, and what is the better way to conclude the year with an epic party. In our quest for the perfect setting, we stumbled upon Five Guys on the iconic Reeperbahn in Hamburg. Long story short, it became the canvas for a unique rave experience. The emotions, the vibes – you can relive it all in my set <3

Note #1

From the very first moment I wanted this set to feel like a journey between different times in trance. The intro brings together two sounds that mean a lot to me: the iconic energy of Born Slippy and the emotional brightness of Pretty Green Eyes. These tracks are not just classics, they are symbols of two very different but equally powerful sides of trance. Throughout the set I kept bringing them back in different ways, weaving them into the flow so their spirit never fully disappears.

At the center of the mix Born Slippy returns, but this time tied to Insomnia by Faithless. That moment is a tribute to the 90s and early 2000s, when trance and rave culture created something bigger than just music. It was about escape, energy and community.

I also wanted to reconnect with the harder edge of that era. Tracks like Honey Child from 2008 carry the rawness of hard house that shaped a whole generation of club sound. Blending those influences with modern trance was my way of showing how past and present can live together in one story. Even the intro already hints at this idea, with three vocal cuts, each taken from a different era of German trance and techno, all speaking to each other across time.
The set closes where it began: Pretty Green Eyes. For me this track is more than just a song. It’s emotion, warmth, love. Ending on that note felt like the most honest way to close the circle.
